Compact 2.5" SATA Enclosure
The Vantec NST-268S3-BK is a lightweight aluminium and ABS enclosure that turns a 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive or hard drive into an external USB storage device. It draws power directly from the host port so no separate adapter is required. The USB 3 MicroB connection delivers USB 3.2 Gen1 transfer rates for everyday file work.
Suitable for single-drive upgrades
Users who want to reuse a 7 mm to 9.5 mm thick SATA drive on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS or Linux will find the tool-less tray and plug-and-play operation convenient. Builders needing multiple drive bays, a 3.5-inch form factor or a different external connector should consider other solutions.
SATA III internal interface
The enclosure accepts any 2.5-inch drive with a native SATA III, SATA II or SATA I interface and presents it over a single USB 3 MicroB port. This interface match is the decisive factor when confirming compatibility with an existing drive.

Preguntas sobre este artículo
Does the aluminum casing keep a 2.5" SATA drive cool during all-day use without a fan?
The lightweight aluminum casing acts as a passive heatsink for the 2.5" SATA drive, and the enclosure is self-powered so no external adapter or fan is required for continuous operation.
What cables or tools must I already have to install a 7 mm to 9.5 mm thick SATA drive?
The package includes a USB 3 MicroB cable, a screw set and a screwdriver, so no extra cables or tools are needed to mount a 7 mm to 9.5 mm SATA drive.
Will this USB 3.2 Gen1 enclosure work with an older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?
Yes, the USB 3 MicroB interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0, so the enclosure will function on older laptops at the slower USB 2.0 speed.
